time flies when you're having fun...

I can't believe how fast this year is going by. It seems like just yesterday when I posted the blog about attending the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Here's an update so far...

We're not as busy as we were last year with corporate incentive gigs. That means hardly any travel to the outer islands, and a lot less free trips home to visit. It's almost a blessing in disguise for me...I've learned so much more with the company this year. My boss has really pushed me to learn the marketing and PR side of the company. I can't say I like it a whole lot, but I can say that it'll be good to have under my belt.

This year marks Cecilio & Kapono's 35th Anniversary. We're producing a HUGE show at the Waikiki Shell this year in honor of it. It'll be on Saturday, August 23rd and it's going to be a trip down memory lane. Opening bands include Kalapana and Summer and guest appearances by a whole crapload of celebrities! We're calling it C&K 35 Back in the Day and we're focusing on taking everyone back in time...It'll truly be a Who's Who in Hawaii entertainment, so be sure to check out our website (www.henrykapono.com) for more information.

In addition to the big Oahu show, we're planning our neighbor island and mainland tour. So far, we've got these cities confirmed:

Denver, CO
Lake Tahoe, NV
Coos Bay, OR
San Francisco, CA
Tacoma, WA
Cerritos, CA
Huntington Beach, CA
San Juan Capistrano, CA
Agoura Hills, CA
San Diego, CA
Las Vegas, NV

So any of you who live in or near those cities, be sure to let me know! I'd love to meet up with old friends!

Aside from being busy with work, I've been concentrating on making myself a better person. I've been spending time with some really good friends...Of course, that involved a whole lotta alcohol, but it's ALWAYS good times with them. I'm so grateful to have such a solid support system surrounding me. I've also been trying to take care of myself physically...Eating healthier and going to the gym has made me feel so much better about myself...And shoppings always fun now! :)

I'll be going home this weekend to Kona to celebrate Father's Day with my family. I'm so excited to see them (and Abunai), as I haven't been back to Kona since January! I'll be getting some much-needed R&R at home...As well as some yummy mommy-cooked meals!

Keep dancing!
